## Transcript

So today, to revive the hope of peace and a two state solution, I state clearly as Prime Minister of this great country, that the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine, we recognise the State of Israel. More than 75 years ago, as a homeland for the Jewish people, today we join over 150 countries who recognise a Palestinian state. Also a pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli people that there can be a better future. Today, I'm pleased to be here with Minister Wong to announce that effective today, Sunday, the 21st of September, 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia recognises the State of Palestine.

We have had in Australia a long term position on a bipartisan basis of two states. One of those states is, of course, Israel. The other, of course, is Palestine. And this recognition being announced today are in sync with our international partners, the United Kingdom and Canada means that three of the Five Eyes nations are all making this decision today. We recognize the legitimate and long held aspirations of the people of Palestine, of a state of their own. The. Recognition of the Palestine. Proclaimed. The liberation of the Council of Ministers. The. Culmination of consultations and a President of the Republic.

Parlementaire Le temps est venu c'est pourquoi fidele a engagement historique de mon pays au proche-orient pour la paix entre le peuple israélien et le peuple Palestinian, je déclaré Q la France reconnait aujourd'hui l'État de Palestine. Recognizing the State of Palestine, led by the Palestinian Authority, empowers those who seek peaceful coexistence and the end of Hamas. It doesn't legitimize terrorism, and in no way does it compromise Canada's steadfast support for the State of Israel, its people, and their security, because that security can only be ultimately guaranteed through the achievement of a comprehensive two state solution.
